Hi,
I have a intel-centrino duo machine with 120 GB SATA disk. Win Vista is installed on the primary partition of the hard disk (recognized as sda by Ubuntu LiveCD) and Ive selected 1 partition(sda6) as "/" during installation.
The installation (Hardy Heron) progresses fine till 94% (after detection of hardware etc) and fails with the error message :
Error executing "grub-install (hd0)" failed.
Fatal Error
Of course, on reboot I don't get any grub and get straight booted into the Vista partition.
Btw I have lenovo laptop with "one touch recovery" i.e. At the time of startup… there is a button called lenovo care in notebook which intrupts normal windows boot and lead to recovery module… using this module I can reinstall vista as it was at the time of factory production.
Firstly, is there anything wrong in my selected configuration. If not, any tips on how I can resolve this problem / move ahead ?
Thanks in advance.
